The contour of ihe lake is oval ami
the wooded banks bear a luxuri
ant growth of monnl ain grass. O-i
a casual examination I here appears
(o be no out let lothis lake, but clos
er observation reveals a .-i,. -.11
creek issuing from the southwest
side, which is tho beginning of the
north fork of that mi :h;y nnery of
the northwest, Snake River, On
this lake, seme times on ihe north
side and some times to tho south
ward, or wherever the breezes
chance lo bear it , is a curious (loaf
ing island. It is about SCO feet in
diameter and lias for its basis a
mac of roots, so dense as to support
large trees and a heavy thicket o '
undergrowth. Decayed vegetation
adds to the thickness of the mat,
and forms a mold several feet in
thickness. On the edge of tho float
ing forest, in summer time, may he
seen a luxuriant growth of blue
joint grass, the roots of which form
so compact a mass as to support
the weight of a horse. Any num
ber of men have no difficulty in
walking about on it. Farther back
among the trees one might build a
large house and make a garden and
do whatever he pleases, lie would
be just is solid and safe as though
there were not 100 or 200 feet of
water beneath. There is a willow
thicket near the center of the is
land, and scattered among tiiese
willows and contiguous to them are
a number ofaspens and dwarf pines.
These catch the breezes which
lloat over the island and act like
sails on a boat, and move (he near
ly two acres ot land hither and
thither over the forty square miles
of water. This shows why me may
one day see the island on
one side and the next on the oth
er side of the lake. Henry Lake is
exceedingly picturesque. Around
it rise, snow-capped peaks, among
which are some of the highest of
the continent’s backbone, partly
covered with a verdue of forest and
grass, and showing here and there
formations of granite and unique
bsaltic columns. During the hunt
ing season the waters swarm with
wildfowl. There are plenty of
gem, and bearer, too. Tue game
may be found in the'adjoining mom
tains.

Persons frequently form strange at

was furnished the Probate Court by
the provisions of *he will of Maggie
"Watson, which was probated. After
providing that out of the estate was to
be paid the expense of a hearse and
four carriages for the funeral, and that
her body be laid beside that of her
husband, and a monument be put on
her grave like that on his, the will go
es ou to provide: “It is my will that
the two china dogs now in my room
be each separately put in a box with
glass fonts, both alike, and one placed
on my dear husband’s grave at Spring
Grove and the other on ray grave, anu

An amiable French inventor named
M. Jules Imbs is, it appears, • quite
f-anguine about hin new method ot ae
rial locomotion by means of boats
worked on something like the switch*
back railway system. These mar
velous crafts are, it is said, to trans
port people frim Paris to St. Peters
burg in eight houre, unless the aeron
aut’s invention is making game of
him. M. Imbs is working at his won
der ul invention in the Rue cle Trak
tir, Paris, oti the Avenue v ictor Hugo,
but people will to wait a little
before they can put any trust in his
promises on fuch unprecedented veloci
ty of locomotion.

Octobe ISSB, Col. F. Parker of
tleton, Vt., wrote a latter to the Czar
of Russia, congratulating him on the
esctpo from death of himself and farm
ly by a serious accident to the train on
Which they were traveling. On Sat
urday the Colonel receiyed a letter
from the'Russian minister at Washing
ton, in which he said that ho was in
strncted hy his imperial majesty to
acknowledge the receipt of the letter
and to convey to Col. Paiker the thanks
of the Czar for the k n i expressions
contained therein. Col. Parker will
prß-ei Y e the letter with a number of
others which he has received from no
table people in this and other coun
tries. The Czar does not, seem to un
dersand that Col. Parker is a fraud,
and pet haps a dead beat Why should
any decent American trouble himself
about the personal affairs of a Russian
Czar.
